You get his time. Just tell him that okay. Victoria Island is in Onitsha. grin
I won't bother replying the guy again.. na so Ojukwu form 'I too know' till he entered death trap and wasted millions of his kinsmen.
They were killing Igbos all over North but their obsession with Lagos made them march towards West to annex Lagos as part of biafra territory not knowing Yoruba soldiers had laid ambush for them at Ore. The rest is history.

Same way the cocoa wealth of Ondo, Osun e.t.c was used to develop Lagos. 😂

It's a SW brotherly thing. You won't understand, since you are not from the region.
Lagos was already wealthy due to trade with Europeans, hence the European name, then it became more wealthy with the oil boom. Which kind yeye cocoa wealth.

This is the truth whether you accept it or not.

BTW, I'm sure you're not from Lagos
Yes. And I'm very certain YOU aren't. Notice how you don't see ACTUAL lagosians policing other yorubas. Stay in your lane and create the lagos you covet.

If an Igbo from Anambra lays claims to Ebonyi, that's not my business, una all be Igbo. That's an Igbo family affair.
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by DMerciful(m): 8:27pm On Jun 08, 2024
You can only do that in Yoruba nation...there's no family affair in Nigeria

In African and Igbo culture, it is taboo for an Igbo from Anambra to lay claim to any part of Ebonyi.

That sounded greek to my ears just now.

Very UNAfrican.

Why is this not replicated anywhere else in SW?
Every part of SW was actually witnessing development until your envious kinsman, Aguiyi Ironsi, truncated democracy and destroyed regionalism via his draconian decree 34. He specifically targeted SW progress. Many of SW properties were snatched and transferred to FGN eg UI, UCH, University of Ife, WNTV, Liberty stadium, Western Nigeria House in London etc.

It's a colonial city with over 200 years of British occupation! Goodluck thinking we're joining south west in any future regional government cheesy
70% of high rise in that picture were built post 1960!

You people should stop this your sensationalism

Lagos "colony" was made wealthy by European traders.

Lagos (western region) which is atleast 95% of Lagos was built using the wealth of the western region prior to Ironsi scattering everything plus the creation of states by Gowon.

The Egbas, Ibadan, and Ijebus were also very wealthy due to trade with Europeans as well.

Anyway, Lagos is SW and a Yoruba land.

Your control over Lagos is superficial. On everyday life in Lagos, you must behave like every other Nigerian in Lagos or you'll be dealt with. The more Lagos develop, the more the number of Yorubas in Lagos reduces.

When electronic voting starts with credible election, you’ll see which voting block would determine who wins in Lagos.



Even in regional govt, Lagos will not be part of SW and you know this
So in regional government, you go uproot Lagos and join am with Biafra?


Or you go just create a separate region for Lagos?


You people are always comedic and never serious..

The western region was so rich to the extent that they got lowest locations form the colonial masters. Awolowo even said the western region was ready to finance any capital they decide to choose to anywhere in Nigeria.

In another book written by the same colonial masters, the eastern region was the poorest. You can see why they covet Lagos.

The Military FG soldiers ate all the Cows in the 16 Western Region Cattle Ranches Built by Awolowo
Many of the Cattle had been imported from Isreal and Argentina for breeding purposes to produce a high quality Cattle industry for the Western Region

Enugu was never capital of Nigeria so your assertion does not make sense. Even at that nobody is stopping you from claiming Enugu because it’s a Nigerian territory, it belongs to all Nigeria. If you have money to buy house there, who would stop you?
Lagos Island was the. Capital of Nigeria and not Lagos State
The Remaining 99% of Lagos State belonged to Awolowo’s own Western Region

Do you see that little dot that says Lagos beneath Ikeja in the Western Region?

That was Lagos the Federal Capital
